to appear in the northeastern sky. 1t was
so perfect and the colors so bright that peo-
pie on the street, no matter how busy,
stopped to admire it and express their ad-
mration.

Yesterday, about 1:30 P NJ, two men who
were out for row in a skitf came TO grief
in the Sacramento opposite the Pioneer
Mill. They had arrived at the conclusion
that they could propel the craft better if
they changed seats, and while they were
doing so the boat upset. The men quickly
climbed upon her as she foated bottom up
wards, and Charles Thiele and William
Harms put out from Washington in boat
and rescued them. Fortunately they lost
nothing by the upset, their coats, hats, oars,
etc, being saved, even to bottle and a
paper of cigars which one of the coats con-
tanned.
Last evening local officers Cafferty and
Strader were informed that two men had
been seen taking a drunken man down
Front street, and it was surmised that rob-
berry was intended. The officers went in
search of the parties and found the sub
ject lying in the mud of the gutter on
Front street, between o and ?, but the
men that had been seen with him had dis
appeared. The inebriate, who gave the
name of P. ]. Fitzpatrick, said they took
his coat and overcoat off, robbed him of a
small amount of money, and, throwing
him into the ditch, told him to stay there
until they came back.
Last Tuesday Colonel Ayers and his sue
cessor in Office as Superintendent of State
Printing took an account of stock in print

Shoaff receipted to his predecessor for the
property on hand. Yesterday Colonel
Ayers left for Los Angeles, where he will
hereafter reside, and was accompanied by
Mrs. Ayers as far as Oakland, in which
city she will visit friends for while.
Superintendent Shoaf has made but one
or two changes rs regards the force running
the office. In fact, during the session of
the Legislature, when the establishment
has to be carried on under high pressure,
it is not good time to make wholesale
changes, even if such are contemplated.
S. F. Smith had Henry Gray arrested
yesterday afternoon for battery. The former
had been INDUCING with others in game
of cards at Brewers, on Front street, for
beverages. At tine conclusion of a game
Smith suggested that he would take glass
of beer. Gray, who was acting as bar
keeper during Brewers temporary absence
told him that he had already had the drink
coming on that game. Smith thought diff
ferently. and they disputed for a minute
Smith finally declaring that Gray was "a
- liar" or that he was telling lie of
that character. Gray promptly seized the
crib board from the table by the side of
which Smith was sitting, and caressed the
latter over the head with it three or four
times, cutting the scalp in two places, the
wounds bleeding considerably. After
Smith bad secured his warrant for Grav's
arrest, the latter had him arrested for dis
turbing the peace, in calling him anything
but pet names. 1t was something of CO.
incidence that each man, when he was
making his complaint, declared it was the
first time he had ever had any business of
his own in Court. As they are both we'll
advanced in years, Judge Buckley sug-
gested that they had put it off for Long
time.
